Her current post is that of part time Specialty dentist within the Oral Surgery Department at BDH; she also does oral surgery sessions at a peripheral community clinic. There has been significant scope for developing her interests within this role and she has had experience working on a patient safety group, the paediatric exodontia pathway, and the dental hospital resuscitation team, to give a few examples. Sarah particularly enjoy her role as a sedationist, and has a real interest in mentoring postgraduate dentists who are developing both surgical and sedation skills. Most recently, she has been offered a new role as trust-wide SAS Tutor/Advocate and plan to take this up part time in the near future.
